Book Description
Excerpt from Loan Exhibition of the Works of Gustave Courbet: New York, April 7 to May 18, 1919 Under these circumstances it is hard to understand the abuse that greeted Courbet's pictures when they appeared as a force about 1850. His history was no different from that of other painters Of original genius. There were a few in the middle of the hubbub who believed in him, and the number slowly increased until general recognition and official sanction came. But the time of triumph in his case was cut short by the politi cal events in which he had become enmeshed, leading to his decline and to his death in exile.

Book Description
With its fittingly dramatic design, Courbet and the Modern Landscape accompanies the first major museum exhibition specifically to address Gustave Courbet's extraordinary achievement in landscape painting. Many of these carefully selected works produced from 1855 to 1876--gathered from Asia, Europe, and North America--will be new to readers. The catalogue--which accompanies an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held from February 21 to May 14, 2006--highlights the artist's expressive responses to the natural environment. Essays by the curators examine Courbet's distinctly modern practice of landscape painting. Mary Morton's essay situates his landscapes in relation to his work in other genres, his critical reputation, and his role in establishing a new pictorial language for landscape painting. Charlotte Eyerman's essay investigates how later generations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists responded to Courbet's example. The catalogue also includes an essay by Dominique de Font-Reaulx, curator of photographs at the Musee d'Orsay, on the relationship between Courbet's work and landscape photography of the 1850s and 1860s.
